Hideaway without amenities
We stayed in this property over the summer. At first, we were very pleased. It's a lovely location that's hidden away in a wooded area. There was plenty of space for our family and the grounds are beautiful. However, several lights did not work, so the home was very dark at night. Our biggest complaint is that the washer/dryer that was promised in the listing did not work. We specifically booked this property with the thought that we would have a W/D available. When we contacted the property manager to report the outage, they said they would send people out for a repair. They never did. We were also told we would receive a credit to our account for our trouble. Several calls to the management company went unanswered. We do not want to complain -- we love the area and had a wonderful week with family -- but future renters should know what to expect when they walk in.
